The challenge
- Find people to support the development of a local site mission, vision and strategy.
- Narrow a diverse field of strong providers to a short-list without a long procurement exercise.
- Use the experience of other member companies rather than starting from scratch.
How IRDG was involved
- The question was put to the IRDG membership through Members Question Time.
- Members shared recommendations of people and providers they had used for similar work.
- IRDG compiled the responses into a report for the Takeda team.
What the account reports
- The report gave the team a number of suggestions, which also tied in with recommendations it had received elsewhere.
- The team was able to sense-check and benchmark the suggestions before deciding how to proceed.
- A first meeting to progress the project was arranged at the time of the account.
